Food and Loving

Opening a grapefruit, the scent sprays warm and sweet. I smell the tropics and am reminded why I like to travel south.

When you eat with your head and not your belly, you eat all sorts of wrong things. I listen very closely to my body. It tells me what I want to eat. And I listen for the feedback of my digestive system about how well I like a certain food – do I digest it well and does it energize me or am I bloated and lethargic? I track the food I eat. I eat whatever I truly want, after checking in with my belly. It’s my gut feeling. It’s so easy to eat well. When I eat well I am fit and healthy.
